Hi there,

I am accepted by USC and NYU as a transfer to the Business School.

I am stuck about which one to go to.

Here’s what I want to get from the college:


strong business program
career prospect - e.g. how easy can a bachelors find a job after graduation, the salary etc
services - if the advisors and professsors are friendly and helpful, if they care about me
students - are they friendly to others, will they be too aggressive and step onto each other for better grades, social life, how easy to make friends (as an international student)


also one of my concerns is that I haven’t decided what to major in. I have always thought that I want to major in marketing, but my professor thought that i am better in Math than understanding concepts. And I looked at NYU’s job placement survey, the mean salary of a BS in Finance is $10000 more than marketing. (yet people say I should major in what I like rather than how much I will earn) What should I major in? How do I know if I fit in majoring in finance?

Any comments is appreciated!
Thanks!
